Please be aware that by transacting certain foreign exchange risk management products with us, you will no longer be able to take advantage of favourable market moves.
For example, the FX Forward product will lock you in to a specific rate, so you'll not be able to take advantage of a rate change in your favour. However, as your rate is locked, you'll also be protected from an unfavourable rate change.
For some products a break cost, which could be significant, may be payable if you seek to break the terms of the contract. You should take account of the likelihood of incurring break costs and what causes them to increase before you opt for a foreign exchange risk management solution.
Foreign exchange risk management products are only offered to bank customers with currency exposures, and they must be entered into for the purpose of payment for identifiable goods or services and must not be used for speculative purposes.
Terms and conditions apply. All facilities are subject to status and eligibility. Applicants must be aged 18 or over. You must be based and operate in the UK (excluding Channel Islands, Isle of Man & Northern Ireland).
